In order to complete a SnT we are in a situation, where a player wants to go to a certain team, that certain team wants to get him and doesn't have the cap space. This means it is not really favorable to prevent the player from doing that and blackmail him and the team. It would have both short and long term consequences (agent relationship, perception of the team with other players,...). I think the price in such scenario is basically the value of the contracts you are getting. If they are shitty contracts, you are compensated. Because alternative for this is basically that the team trading with you dumps this contracts to someone else. You can also demand that the team finds the taker, because you don't want to take crappy contracts - in this case your compensation is minimal.
Couple of examples:
- Boston paid #16 pick and future SRP to dump two years of Kemba max
- Philly paid protected 2025 FRP to dump Horford
Both cases are horrible contracts on more than a year remaining.
Lower contracts vary a lot in price:
- Favors to OKC (20 mil remaining) costed UTH a protected 2024 FRP and they received a SRP
- Jordan to Detroit (I think he had 30 mil remaining) costed BKN just 4 SRP
If we take the often mentioned NY. They have a bunch of expiring contracts and would be likely trading an expiring Rose contract or a two player combination of Walker/Noel/Burks. Since all are expiring other than perhaps Walker can all be flipped later, the cost of taking them from a third team like OKC would not be high. I think a couple of SRP would do it.
Mavs would basically have an option: take a combination of those contracts and a compensation or NY finds a third team and Mavs get a SRP and TE for their troubles.
